The coolest concerts I know of - Artist Den

In case you're not familiar with the Artist Den, they are responsible for the coolest concerts around: these are "secret" concerts in non-musical fantastic venues such as museums, old ships, churches... all with great artists, for very small audiences (partly lucky fans -tickets are free- partly members. Really fair, I'd say). These concerts are taped, and they've just announced they're finally starting to broadcast them starting this February. First one to air is Alanis Morissette.

I was so lucky to attend Jakob Dylan's in NY in September (check out my blog's september archives, I entered to win tickets, entered my guy too...I didn't win them, he did, which is funny because he's as musical as a log!!- but ok, got to go -which is what matters - plus he enjoyed it a lot) and they've already posted a mini clip of it here (place looks way bigger than it actually was). There's also this one on youtube.
For other artists appearing and for the tv schedule go to their site.

To the good times lyrics - Elin Sigvardsson

Cheers to all the good times we’ve had
Cheers to the things that we will regret
I long for you I’m out of my head
You’re all around my heart
You’re inside my bed

Here’s to the good times we’ve had
And the ones we won’t get
Cheers to all the tears that I cried
Cheers to the loneliness and the wine
I long for you
I see you everywhere
------infotaupe.blogspot.com----
You’re stuck on my mind
Tangled up in my hair

Here’s to the good times we’ve had
And the ones we won’t share
Cheers to the walls
And Cheers to the floor
Cheers to your feet
When they walked out the door

I long for you
More than ever before
The night’s a joke
And the day’s such a bore

Here’s to the good times we’ve had
They won’t come back no more
Cheers to the plans and the house by the sea
There sails our boat
There falls the balcony

I long for you
That is still haunting me
Those visions of us
Just won’t let me be

Here’s to the good times we’ve had
And the ones we won’t see
Cheers to the glass I pour in the sink
Cheers to the olive in your favourite drink
I long for you but don’t say you’ll miss me
There’s no use in lying
If that’s what you think

Here’s to the good times we’ve had
It didn’t mean a thing
Here’s to the good times we’ve had
That just didn’t mean a thing

As it turns out the other Elin lyrics I posted on my blog are one of my most visited pages, so I'll post other songs of hers I can't find on the net!

Andrew Bird - WHY? in Philly's TLA

Someone's just posted this on youtube*, WOOOWW. Seriously, how good is he?

For my post on when I got to ask him what he's listening to these days go to this post.
Had not listened to this song yet (still working my way through the last two records), was blown away for the the umpteenth time. And he was sick...

This so could be a Carina Round song, would love to see these two work together.
*Thnx to JoThere for uploading!

Snow and chocolate water

First day of close down due to snow in NJ this year, time for one of my "nobody cares but I've been wandering around in the snow and taking pics, so" post. Beautiful:

Will blog later about the chocolate water, sort of chopped that part out.
